Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington has turned down big-money magazine offers for exclusive photos of her wedding later this year.

The double gold medalist, who starred in the most recent series of I'm A Celebrity, is to walk down the aisle with long-term boyfriend Harry Needs in the summer, and had been offered a six-figure sum for pictures from the big day.

But proud mum Kay has revealed the nuptials will be a small private affair, with Rebecca having already scrapped plans for a dream wedding overseas because sister Chloe has a phobia of flying.

Kay said: “It’s going to be a personal and private occasion. Becky wouldn’t be too happy with me if I revealed all the details.

“She just wants to be able to enjoy the whole day out of the limelight. It will be close friends and family only.”

Rebecca retired in February last year after earning two bronze medals on home soil at London 2012 while Harry is hopeful of competing in the 2016 Olympics in Rio in both the 50m and 100m butterfly.
